Cecilia Whittaker-Doe’s “Blue Haven” creates a welcome respite from our first artist, yet we are no closer to being able to indentify our setting. This landscape has clearly recognizable features, such as trees, hills, rocks and sky yet we are ultimately seduced by the soaked color and dreamy washes to accepting the abstract paths and interrelationships as our locality. The doppelganger effect of blue and brown grisaille begins to suggest an even dreamier sense of time or multiple experiences of a place, layered one upon another, expanding our sense of place from the literal to the psychological.

"Kenny Cole's work is completely current and fresh, and has the smoking gun of sophisticated, 'make you think', power that comes with experience--- the ultimate cocktail!" - Carly Glovinski |
